Chapter Four: Say Anything
Damnit, Seth, say something! Summer thought to herself, nibbling on her index fingernail now. Seth just stared at her, unbelieving.
She can't be real he thought.
He blinked, once, twice, finding out that each time he opened his eyes again, she was still there, the same beautiful Summer. His eyes then turned wary. What the hell did she think she was doing here? She left a long time ago. She wasn't supposed to come back! But, and Seth couldn't stop it, as he looked into her deep brown eyes, his heart fluttered for the first time in months.
"What are you doing here?" Seth was trying to keep his cool. On one side, he wanted to scream at her, to tell her to get the fuck out of dodge, but on the other hand he wanted those soft lips back on his. Summer fidgeted a little bit, but her soft smile never faltered.
"I heard what happened and I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Oh, yeah, I'm great. Just peachy. You would feel the same way if you had just made your best friend comatose." It took Seth a minute to figure out that he had said this out loud. Summer had gasped a little.
"Seth, it wasn't your fault."
"Oh, wasn't it? That's just rich, Summer. You're telling me it's not my fault? I bet you don't even know what happened. You don't know what the FUCK happened, do you?"
Summer cast her eyes down, and Seth noticed, to his horror, that she was crying.
"Oh, my God, Summer. Don't listen to me. I'm such an asshole-"
"No," she said, cutting him off and looking at him, smiling through her tears. "No, you're right. I don't know what happened. I'm the asshole Seth, not you. I'm the one who left…" her voice trailed off; it was so soft that you could barely hear the word 'left'. Seth closed his eyes, trying not to relive the moment when she had left. It was all too painful.
"Seth, I have to go."
"Summer, why?" His pleading brown eyes had searched hers for an answer. She looked down and tried her hardest not to cry.
"Seth, I just, don't feel like I belong here anymore."
"That's a lie. Oh, my God Summer, you are, like, the essence of all the Newport Beach girls. No one knows more about living here than you do!"
"Well, maybe that's the problem, Seth! Maybe I just need a different life!" That was a lie too, and they both knew it. But Summer couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. It seemed comical really, in a sad sort of way. She had hoped he would say something, something to make her tell him the truth, make her not leave. She didn't want to leave, but she couldn't stay. It was making her dizzy, all these different thoughts. But instead of saying anything, Seth had spun around and walked out of the airport. Summer had then sunk on the concrete floor, right in the middle of the airport, and began to cry. Unbeknownst to her, Seth had seen all of this, and that was when his heart really shattered and that was when he began to run.
"Seth, you okay?" Summer was nudging him slightly, looking at him with a deep concern in her eyes. Seth broke out of his trance and looked at her. God, she was beautiful. Her dark brown hair swung around her face, her tan skin made her eyes stand out, made them look like dark gold. He couldn't stare at her for too long, he would fall for heragain. And God knows that would have been a serious mistake.
